<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paddy54, post: 2656587, member: 19250&quot;]I&#039;ve&nbsp; always wondered&nbsp; what&nbsp; any any color sticker means?</p><p>Other than someone&nbsp; who invests time and money into a hobby that they don&#039;t&nbsp; understand ,or lacks knowledge ?</p><p>Is it a confidences issue ?&nbsp; Is it about being a dealer vs a collector ? Because there is a difference .</p><p>A collector&nbsp; sees a treasure to add to their collection , a dealer see&nbsp; only profits to treasure.</p><p>The ability&nbsp; to look at a specimen&nbsp; and determine&nbsp; its&nbsp; value be it a treasure, or a profit to pocket ,should never be left to those whom tell us so. It should be for us to know way before&nbsp; we open our wallets .</p><p>To me this sort of reminds&nbsp; me of a car salesman&nbsp; who tells you .....you need to purchase&nbsp; an extended&nbsp; warranty .</p><p>Why.....because you are told that it will protect you!</p><p>You just purchased&nbsp; a new car with a warranty .</p><p>That said you are betting against&nbsp; yourself! Think about it ....if you win ...you actually&nbsp; loose.</p><p>Be a winner research,read,and ask questions , and in the end.... make a choice based&nbsp; on what you know. You are human and can make mistakes&nbsp; or you can hit a home run!</p><p>However&nbsp; after the crowd stops cheering ......that home run never leaves you with the knowledge&nbsp; of a lesson&nbsp; learned![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
